Troubleshooting
Radiator not heating up fully
Ensure the central heating system is on and set to the correct temperature. Check if the radiator needs bleeding to release trapped air. Verify that the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV), if fitted, is open.
Leaking from valves or connections
Turn off the central heating system and isolate the radiator. Tighten the leaking connection carefully. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Uneven heating (cold spots)
This usually indicates air trapped in the system. Use the bleed plug at the top of the radiator to release the air until water begins to flow.
